How Long Have your TCL TVs Lasted So Far?

113 75 April 21, 2022 at 12:03 PM
Mine just crapped out just after 3 years. Got my money back thanks to the credit card extended warranty but sad that it was a beautiful 65 inch Roku tv 5 series. I'm tempted to fix the TV but changing the backlight looks like a real pain to do.Frown Mine was turned on for about 12-15 hours 7 days a week. But still, just 3 years? I now brought back out my old "dumb" Vizio tv I bought from 2004 and it's still going strong. That Vizio was also running about 12-15 hours a day for 10 years. I won't be buying TCL anymore but back then hopped on that bandwagon because reviewers and rtings.com gave it such high marks. But i guess no one really knew how long they'd last.
Seeing that you Slickers love TCLs and jump on it all the time, how long have you had yours for so far? Still kicking?

My first was a 2016 55" series 5, still going strong. It's on for several hours every day. Used by my retired parent and it's even left on when not home so the pets have something to watch… smh

55P607 bought in June 2017, survived two moves and no issues to this day. I love my LG CX but the Roku interface is night and day better than WebOS
